Why does no attorney want to take my case?

I have a sexual harassment case. Its been going on for 10 months. My old attorney withdraw from representing from me. I am now looking for a new attorney but no one wants to help me. They denied my case. How do I find an attorney who will immediately help me with my case? I live in LA but my case is in SF court. I... show more I have a sexual harassment case.

Any time lawyers get wind of a potentially lucrative case they tend to jump on it. So your case must either not be that strong...or the entity you hope to sue doesn't have any money to pay a settlement.

When a lawyer applies to withdraw from your case, could be for not paying legal fees, (technically, most judges won't allow for this), but in most cases could be that you won't follow the lawyers legal advice, or that my guess you have a losing case, which as you found out was denied, thus my guess am looking for a lawyer to appeal the denial.

Anytime a lawyer withdraws from a case and you go to another lawyer, then (before) they "might" take it, they will call the other lawyer and ask why, did you w/draw from this case? Most lawyers won't touch, since they know or suspect "red flags" that if they take over will have the same problems.

And no, the lawyers at the courthouse are there for (other) cases for other clients. You are thinking about criminal cases where if you can't afford a lawyer, then the judge will appoint one for free to represent you, but that is CRIMINAL, not civil.

Do you have enough money to pay an attorney? If yes, then they think you have a poor case.

If you want to hire one on a contingency basis, they definitely thing you have a poor case.
